The glamour model was filmed on video by her mum giving her bull dog Louie CPR after he collapsed and stopped breathing.

Jodie shared the video on Facebook and encouraged people to share what she did, advising dog owners to be aware of what their dogs are eating.

Jodie uploaded the video alongside a lengthy post, explaining what she did, and what others should do if they find themselves in a similar situation.

"Attention all bulldog owners," she began the message. "The average life expectancy of a bulldog is six years old and myself and some friends have had them only make it to 3 years old. Mostly when they pass away you'll be told it was a heart attack – chances are it's probably not and could be this…

"Earlier today this happened and my mum filmed it. Louie my bulldog has an elongated soft pallet which makes it difficult for him to breathe and eat. He often collapses when eating and for over two years now I have been blending his food into a liquid.

"We had given all the dogs some treats today and Louie had picked one up that was too big for his throat. He choked, passed out, went completely limp, urinated on himself and his tongue went blue. This happens every couple of months with Louie and it's so bad you would honestly think he's dead. He has no signs of life."

Jodie then advised on ways to avoid this happening, saying the breed should never be walked in hot weather and that their food should be blended into liquid.

She continued: "If they collapse when out, the best thing to do is soak them in cold water. I've previously dunked them in the nearest stream or lake!! You need to get their body temperature down and you need to keep talking to them and stroking them and to keep them calm."

Jodie rescued Louie after plying her fingers down his throat to clear the blockage – she made sure to wear gloves in case he clamped down on her hand.
